Notices and Summary:Year 324
Year 326
Welcome! Always nice to see some new people
. Remember: if its in bold and i can find a way to roll for it, i will
((Sort of? Theoretically anyone can do anything with any creation, but people tend to develop pet projects that other people don't mess with. So I doubt anyone would mind if you focused on a single nation of your own creation.))
I would say: Unfortunately, you are correct.
But as one of rules states, anyone can mess with anything.
Im considering flat out replacing that rule with one that says:
"Messing with others' creations is HIGHLY encouraged. As long you don't flat out destroy them."
Stuff tends to stagnate without external influence as their creators run out of ideas of what to do with them.
So i would argue unless somebody says "DONT mess with this for now." Anyone's free to do anything with anything, mostly.
Speaking of rules, while this ISN'T a rule, allow me to qoute something from the OP of the "Titans of Creation" WBG that i like:
You are free to go wild with your creations, but creating blatant expies of some existing franchise or meme creations is heavily frowned upon.

Rolls Dorathian Kingdom attempts to cure the Purple Leaf Disease1d20=12
Starting off from the East, the Hamsterfolk of the Dorathian Kingdom are mildly successful in reducing the spread of the Purple Leaf Disease. They aren't nearly as experienced in fighting the disease as other nations are and while its hard to fail in using the dust of the Light Crystals to cure the disease, the Dorathians do not yet know how to fight the disease most effectively. But most importantly they are now actively watching and preventing the disease from spreading eastward.
High Elves' view of the two fox gods1d20=7
Despite there being some confusion among high elves regarding the two gods of the foxfolk, they remain largely distinct in the eyes of the few High Elves worshipping the deities.
The nation of Sicis is founded by Toadmen1d20=15
With the swamplands where the Toadmen live being large and uncontested or perhaps inhospitable to anyone but the Toadmen, the range of the territory they can claim as their own is quite decently sized, only really held back by the limited number of Toadmen, which is still quite a lot, with how large the marsh hamlets are and how prolific breeders Toadmen are.
The construction of the Ancestral Temple1d20=17
"Magnificent" is an appropriate word to describe the large temple built by the Toadmen to venerate their ancestors. The temple is quite an impressive feat of architectural work, considering the material its made out of: Mud Bricks. Its a structure the ancestors of the Toadmen who built it would be proud of, or maybe, ARE proud of?
The Dioscuri meet with the Elder Council1d20=4
The Dioscuri were allowed an audience with the Elder Council, under the supervision of numerous dragons.
The attempt by the two to proclaim the greatness of the Basileus to the council didn't go well for them, at all. "We will hear no demands from beasts, no matter how "Great"" Said the eldest of the council. Being called "Beasts" didn't exactly sit well with the twins, they dared hiss at the council but shrunk back as soon as they saw one of the dragons begin winding up for an attack, one much larger and powerful looking than most, an Immortal.
Yes, it turns out there is a reason none of the disgruntled Immortals have dared to make an attempt on the council yet. Because the one who guards the Council, is himself an Immortal, a jet black dragon with obsidian scales, perhaps the most power living Immortal, only rivaled by Irahan and the like. He looses a terrifying roar as he prepares for his deadly attack, and a wave of lighting travels all the way from his snout down to the tip of his tail, jumping across the swept back tips of his obsidian scales, with some arcing to the ground around his feet, starting little fires wherever they hit. The council orders him to stand down before he could unleash his attack, he responds with only disappointment. The two snakes and their "heralds" are escorted out to the wilderness, and told not to come back.
Now, how could the Council retain such a powerful Immortal? Turns out that he is highly loyal to the council, having been practically raised by them. As soon as the dragon's abilities became apparent, the Council sought to claim him for themselves. Although he is officially subordinate to the council, the council grants him anything he desires as a way to buy his continued loyalty, anything from land, statues dedicated to him or females. Known to most only by a nickname that he is called by: "Shogun", He is vain, cruel and spoiled, only seeking his own gain, whatever it may be and discarding anyone no longer useful to him. And unfortunately, or fortunately... for the dragons living in the council's lands, his loyalty for the time being lays squarely with the council and only the council. But should the council for whatever reason earn his ire, he would likely have little difficulty disposing of them.
((I wish i could have written more stuff for the OTHER rolls, but it heavily does depend on whether a roll "clicks" for me or not... ))
Griffonian Refugees1d20=13
Many griffons arrive from beyon the great eastern sea, but many also perish after the long flight. There are enough Griffons remaining to adequately populate about half of the island.
YEAR 326.2
Those that could see the twin islands of Elysium have been subjected to a strange sight.
The large orb of light between top branches of the White Tree of Elysium briefly produced a bright flash before a large, snaking stream of energy erupted from the orb and streamed to the smaller island just north of the larger island and begun pulling the small island toward the larger one, taking about a week to merge the two islands.
While both of the islands have always been considered part of Elysium, until now, Elysians could not cross between the two islands, but now they have access to it. The new part of Elysium slightly differs from the part that was already there, being a land rife with streams, waterfalls and natural hot springs.
The few magi from the University residing in the Avarrian empire at the time surmised that the island-pulling stunt might have been a "practice run" for the White Tree, in preparation for something larger.
